The New York Tribune has an issue on
VII oh to win Republican victory IN
1888. and 1t Is no less thing than Presi-
den, Clevelsnd's letter to Mayor Hewitt
supporting Colonel Fellows.
The Tribune explains that President
Arthur would not have been supported
by his party in any such course.
The difference Is that Mr.. Arthur was
never elected President and only repre-
sented the result of a crsnk,,s crime and

A MONTANA MINING BUREAU.

The matter Of establishing mining bu.
reau in Montana has received some little
attention from the press Of the Territory
and mining men Of prominence and many
practical miners are in favor OF the estab
ment Of bureau patterned after the one
In operation in California. That bureau
of this kind would be productive Of benc.
fetal results to the mining industry Of
Montana there can be no question or doubt
That a bureau would prove great benefit
to Montana's mines is torcibly impressed
by perusal Of a condensed account OF
some Of the work Of the State Mining Blu
reau OF California for the past summer
months, which, beside being interesting
mining reading, shows conclusively the
great impetus to the development Of the
States mineral resources which the bu
reau has been Instrumental in bringing out
and building up. Mining information,
collected in a reliable manner, is sought af.
ter by all who desire to invest money in
mining enterprises. We have before urg.
ed the need and expediency Of creating a
Mining Bureau for Montana, and briefly
alluded to the advantage. which the pub
locations, statistics and intelligence Of such
bureau would have over any other source
In disseminating Information relating to
the inexhaustib!e mineral resources Of the
Territory. The publications Of bureau
would be free from the suspicion OF being
worked up in the interest Of any mining
district or to boom the stock OF any com.
pany, and would be relied upon as telling
the plain, unvarnished truth in all mining
matters, and could be Expended on as cor
rect. 1t would seem tina, bureau Of this
character is now almos! indispensable to
promote the future development of our
immense and nu,nberlcss mining districts
whose rich deposits only await the proper
means OF being brought before the eyes o,
capitalists to insure their rapid opening
and successful operation. Mining men
and mine owners should do all their pow er
to create and sustain bureau. All that is
required now is to tell the truth concern.
